annakw Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 I have found all of these in Oklahoma and I'm not sure what they are, or anything like that! If you want to help that would be great! Including a link to my photo album on Facebook of these rocks/fossils. I hope that is OK! I think you might have to copy/paste it! https://www.facebook.com/Areopagus/media_set?set=a.10155003946494048.1073741867.783084047&type=3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ynot Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 The ones You have already posted look like brachiopods in "hash" plates. Tony Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys."

annakw Posted January 24, 2017 Author Share Posted January 24, 2017 What is a hash plate? I'm so new to this! I was collecting them to show my students but now am interested in it for myself. Here are some more pictures. Some of them, I am not sure if they are fossils or just rocks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ynot Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 A hash plate is a layer of rock with a lot of broken shells and sometimes whole ones in it. The first 2 pieces look like iron concretions the others look like more hash. Tony Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys." Will Rogers said: " Some of them didn't spring far enough."

Fossildude19 Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Welcome to the Forum. I agree with Tony. Brachiopods, crinoid stems , and some concretions.

Rockwood Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Top and center of the second photo up is a nice mold fossil of a section of crinoid stem. The ligaments often held ossicles together long enough for them to fossilize as an articulated unit. The concretion is likely iron carbonate. Often it seems clear that they were shells that aren't preserved well enough to be recognizable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abyssunder Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Some of the rocks (those without fossils) have patterns that remind me of Liesegang rings , similar to this : " We are not separate and independent entities, but like links in a chain, and we could not by any means be what we are without those who went before us and showed us the way.
